A Study in Sherlock

Stories Inspired by the Holmes Canon

Backstory

The book grew out of a discovery that many of the editors’ author-friends were as fascinated by the Sherlock Holmes stories as they were. Each of the contributors was eager to play in the Sherlockian sandbox, and the result is a wide range of stories, including classic police procedural mysteries, fantasy tales, and musings on Holmes in his older years. Some chose to write about Holmes, Watson, Conan Doyle, and others familiar to the Sherlockian readers; others explored the impact of the Holmes stories on readers and writers alike.
